On Wednesday, about 70 students stayed home due to the suspected outbreak at the same time as the school took measures such as cleaning and review of school food. Now on Thursday, about 100 students are home.

Regarding student absenteeism, we have a small increase compared to yesterday, says the school's principal Johan Lööf to P4.

The symptoms suggest stomach flu, according to Lööf, but the cause is still unclear.
